natlonal aspect. Dub tuoro iS uo
national contest this year in Vir-
ginia. There is State election to
b held, however, and members OF
General Assembly chosen. The
Democratic party has held a State
convention and declared in favor
of the Blair bill and the immediate
repeal OF the Internal Revenue
system. Touching the tariff, this
convention declared:
1--WE favor raising the revenue
requisite for the support of the
Federal Government by tariff on
imports limited to the necessities
of government, economically adj
ministered aud SO adjusted in its
application as to prevent unequal
burdens, encourage productive
interests at home, the Development
of our material resources and af-
ford just compensation to labor, but
not to foster monopolies."
Now, we stand squarely on this
platform in favor of judicious
tariff, the Blair bill, and the aboli
ton of the infamous Internal Reve
nue. system,-a legacy from the
Republican party, for whose prln
ciples the editor of the Virginian
has recently developed such fond
ness that the Delaware Morning
Neus, a competent authority In
such matters, now classes the Var
gilman among the Republican pa
pers of the country. We not only
stand on this platform, but we IN
tend to support the nominees OF
the Democratic party who stand on
it, in opposition to the Republican
or so called Independent candi,
dates, whose only object can be to
assist Malone or some other Re
publican in getting elected to the
United States Senate. More than
this, we are going to support the
Democratic candidates for Presi.
dent and Vice-President next fall
in opposition to the candidates OF
the sectional and proscriptive Re.
publican party, which hates and
would humiliate and disiranchise
the people OF the South-a party
which, though it still fingers in the
graveyards of the late war, and
lives on the memories OF that strug-
gle, and flaunts the bloody shirt, is
not a Bourbon" party in the eyes
of the editor of the Virgiman.
Now that we have answered our
neighbor, and told him where we
stand, let him come out of the
bushes and like a man tell the PEG
ple where he stands on these same
questions. There is no middle
ground between the two parties in
Virginia. Mahone's old game OF
playing Independent is too thin to
work here.
